What
can I do to help?
Be sure to check out the News
section for up to date local info.
Operation Homefront
Operation
Homefront is a non-profit organization that provides
assistance to military families while service members
are deployed. They support our nation's troops by allowing
military personnel to focus on the demands of their duties
abroad.
Patriot
Defenders Network works to keep people abreast of
the events around our community that support our troops
and their families still at home.
Marine Comfort Quilts
Marine
Comfort Quilts is a group of wonderful people who
are sending quilts to the families of soldiers, of every
branch of service, who have been lost overseas in Operation
Iraqi Freedom. You can volunteer your help in many ways.
News
Victory for our Soldiers and their families!
On Monday, April 23rd, 2007 news spread swiftly among
the Pagan communities regarding the end of the, almost
10 year long quest to have the Department of Veterans
Affairs approve the Pentacle symbol as the emblem of faith
for our Pagan Soldiers.
You can read the entire story on this quest, right from
the beginning on through the settlement thereof, at: Circle
Sanctuary
Upon hearing the news, Ancient Cauldron knew it had to
follow through and was proud to sponsor a special Rite
of Passage for the Pentacle Symbol, to Honor all our Soldiers,
especially our Fallen Hero's who paid the ultimate price
for not just our rites and freedoms, but for all people.
Read my account of both the Plaque Dedication Ceremony
for Sgt. Patrick Stewart and the Special Rite of Passage.
Magickal Blessings,
WinterSky
For Sharing
We would like to introduce you to Any
Soldier Inc. If you are looking for a way to send
letters, packages and information to the troops, this
is a great site for it! Soldiers sign up on the site,
send emails to the site and also list what items they
and the others in their unit need or would like. The main
soldier is sent the stuff and hands out the packages to
the soldiers who don't receive any mail. WinterSky spends
hours on this site, reading their entries, and has highly
suggested you have a box of tissues handy when accessing
this info!
We would like to introduce you to another soldier contact
site, although this one is more complicated: Soldiers'
Angels.
We would like to introduce you to Operation
Hero's Salute. From the site:
"We Salute all Hero's in Uniform: Men, Women and
Children of our Past, Present and Future!
We are Proud of those in Uniform who stand and protect
us selflessly, making personal sacrifices for the Good
of All.
We Salute their families, for the sacrifices they also
have/are/will undergo."
We would like to introduce you to the group Desert
Moon Grove, a coven started for the support of soldiers
overseas in Iraq. To find out more about the group and
the items they are requesting for overseas, check out
their posting at PaganNews.
They also have a Yahoo Group, Forest
Moon Grove, where you can help them achieve their
goals of creating positive changes towards the military
pagan community.
